Cheapest so far:
£169.99
+ £30.99 per mnth for 200mins
http://www.e2save.com/mobile/phones/disphandset.php?network=O2&handset=XDA2S
I doubt you'll find it much cheaper than that. I got mine for £9.99 on an O2 Max plan, but now the lowest price for the handset on that tariff is about £50.
I've also heard through the rumour mill that stock of the XDA IIs is about to become a bit thin on the ground soon owing to supply/demand issues; HTC can't seem to make these devices fast enough to satisfy the carriers... just look at the debacle that is happening with Orange and the M2000.
Besides - do you want to spend all your time trawling for a slightly better deal, or do you want to actually be using and XDA IIs in the near future?
From T-mobile as an MDA III
£295 + £15 a month
If it's the MDA III, then the best price ATM seems to be via the following
http://www.onestopphoneshop.co.uk/ourdeals.php?PROV=121&OFF=1MDA3&TAR=RELAX22
Assuming 'Guest' doesn't want to spend much more than £30/month on his tariff, the best deal is for Relax 200 on a 12-month contract, being £32/month (with half-price line rental for the first 3 months)
Selecting this, the cost of the MDA III is only £59.99. If 'Guest' opted for an 18-month contract, the handset would be £24.99, and if they don't mind paying £51/month for 400 x-net minutes, they wouldn't have to pay a penny for the handset at all.
Naturally, all this is assuming that 'Guest' would be happy on T-Mobile as opposed to O2
A bit late... but I picked up my MDA III for £140 plus £13p/m (for 12 months) rising to £26 (for the last 6 of the contract) yesterday. Shame that there doesn't seem to be any way with T-Mobile of buying bundled GPRS on contract.
Considering that the O2 shop next door wanted £249 for the XDA IIs and £30p/m for 12 months, it seemed a pretty good deal frankly.
I should make the purchase cost back selling my Nokia 6600 on once it's unlocked, fingers crossed.
Fwiw, I got mine from Uplands a couple of months ago at £125 & £35/mth, but I do use a fair few minutes each month and this worked out the most cost effective.
Not wanting to sound like a ringer, I got great customer service (next day delivery after faxing some docs) and friendly, personal attention.
</plug!> :wink:
Got mine from Uplands as well; I tried to place an order with The Link early in the new year (seeing as the handset was going for nowt on O2 Max) but they were out of stock. Uplands was the next best thing at £9.99 and I got the handest early the next day; no complaints there so I'll no doubt go back to them come August when I can port across my other Orange number...
I told O2 I was moving to Orange (on £25 a month O2 100 online contract) as Orange had offered me an MPV2000 for free and O2 said they would matchit!!! XDAIIs FOC - Result
I got mine from The Link - they knocked 200 quid off the price of the handset, so it ended up cost £40 for the handset, plus £30 a month on the o2 200 package.
I don't know why they knocked so much off - no-one else had stock, and now they can't get stock themselves.
I got mine from the Link just before Xmas. 150 pounds plus 30 pounds a month for 300 any minutes (double mins for first 3 months)
Got mine last sat 29th in the link on o2 max, it cost me nothing but the line rental is £75 per month.
(hope to have cheaper bills now as i was having £150 bills on xnet 400 through singlepoint!)
www.buymobilephones.net has it quite cheap
My M2000 was £0.00 with £0.00 line rental!
Gotta have some perks of working for the company! :wink:
Just got mine for £180 on £16/month line. Prices gone down to £99 on £25 line rental and above from 02 shop
I paid £180 with £20 line rental from 02 shop not too long ago...
By far the best deal I could find.
Bought one from O2 Shop. Since I've already monthly contract somewhere else, I opted for the Data only package. It was £9 a month, and the Handset costed £200-ish.
Hi All,
Finally gonna leave my hermes for a new machine.
What quotes have you guys been finding online or at shops for the Rhodium?
Online, I saw a US site pre ordering at $749.99 and a UK site preorder at £517.95
http://www.inkino.co.uk/zen/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=2753
Also http://www.expansys.com/ is quoting the t-diamond 2 for £411, so maybe its going to be just below £500?
hopefully the recession will help htc to price it lower
no one wanna play guesstimate?

I second that one. But I must know. What's a verzzzion?
Here's my 2 pence worth
I have been searching and from a UK perspective mobile phones direct have the Pro2 and Diamond2 listed for pre-order.
Their picture of the phone has a free label in the corner.
Judging from what I have seen I am hoping the pricing will be very similar to the HD. If it is then I am going to be as happy as a pig in s***. As soon as the Pro2 is released i'm having one (it also ties in quite nicely to when my contract is up also )

High-end phones seem to be more expensive at the moment with the N97 on Play at a SIM free price of £600.
$299 for Rhodium
$199 for Diamond2
After rebates with 2year contract
When it comes to Sprint in Q3 of this year!
Since the Fuze for ATT was around $350 on release im guessing about the same for the Fuze 2 or TP2 w.e you wanna say lol

Where did u find this info?
I have had my HD for about 2 months and will sell it right now and keep my old Kaiser until this phone comes out. Maybe get it from the UK in May when it is due to drop over there.
I think price will be similar to HD when was launched (Hope is less!!)
Price, well it's bad thing. More than 500 euro, less than 750 euro e.g 600-650 euro unlocked, without contract, nobrand....
I read your post quick, the 500 and 300 but then wait wait 499.99 and 299.99 I dunno what it is but it seems..cheaper, its a mental thing or something...LOL..after looking at it I was like its a 1cent difference but mentally that 299.99 seems cheaper than 300, man they have programmed us stores do it too alot of crap is 19.99 never $20

I gues it will be free in Holland with a 2 year 40 euro a month contract by T-Mobile and will come down to a 30/35 euro a month contract in a few months.
It is already showing at expansys.co.uk for £524 estimated to be in on the 5th of june

I'm plannin on gettin it with Vodafone.
1 year contract. 27.50 a month + Data-plan = 37.50 a month, and the first 6 months 20% discount so that would be:
First 6 months 32 euro a month, and last 6 six months 37.50 a month.
And then I need to pay something like 295 euro for the TP2
Hello everyone!
Three has the galaxy nexus with contract on 34 pounds per month. At the end of this month this contract ends. if anyone of you knows, are they gonna decrease the price or they gonna increase it at the 1st of Dec?
thank you
I don't think there's any way of knowing. I'm sure the operators price their phones based on supply and demand, as it's popular and quite new, I think it's doubtful the price will drop before Christmas.
Hm I'm asking this question because I'm International student and 9 of the 24 months I will be in my country and is little bit expensive 34 pounds for a student
You would be lucky to get it much cheaper unless you can pay some towards the phone
A 24 month contract will probably be the best, but this is a new phone and it's top of the range, so it will be expensive however you do it. If you can pay something towards the phone, it will reduce the monthly charges.
Best price for a ET4G on Sprint upgrade? Anything lower than $150?
My sister is eligible for an upgrade, she loves my ET4G so I was looking to get her one. Wirefly/Amazon both show $79 for new contract or $150 for upgrades. Anyone know anything better than $150? Damn I paid $100 when it first came out! Thanks.
Sorry for double post, I got to buy her the phone in less than 48 hours! Thanks!
Amazon Wireless has it for 79.99, I tried to post the link but I'm too much of a noob to be allowed yet.
Go to target.com and find it on there website. Its 99 bucks go to best buy they are price matching till January 20 th. Boom epic 4g for 99. Its 79 on amazon but you have to wait bestbuy you get it that day. I got two epic last week from best buy for 99 each

You guys know that at target its $99.99 with new line but $150 with an upgrade right? And amazon is $79.99 with a new line, but $150 with an upgrade. Its pretty much $150 everywhere for upgrades.

Look for Wirefly 10% online coupon code just used it 5 days ago.
If you trade in ANY working phone (not just smart phones) to radio shack you can get it for 100 bucks.
WAAAH! How long have these prices been going on for? I paid $199.99 about a month or so ago for an upgrade
Thanks for all the replies, but I already know abt the $79 amazon deal. I need to UPGRADE an existing sprint line that is eligible for discounted upgrade - i dont need to sign up a new phone number or line. So the amazon price/wirefly price is $150 for upgrades. Regarding radio shack, do you know if that $100 price is for upgrades as well?
I believe the $79.99 deal at Amazon is only for new customers, not upgrading. If you are upgrading then it is $149.99
Ill be getting it for $79.99 next week
I got mine on the 26th from Sprint.
They were having a deal (25th-31st) if your upgrade was near that they would upgrade you sooner and I got my et4g for $126.00 with the trade in of my evo.
By far this phone is immaculate but I think I just got my first problem with it.
The vibrate is making a super weird noise that it really shouldn't be making.
Hope you find a good deal for it!
Sprint will give you $90 (as a credit to your bill) for your old HTC EVO, even if you don;t buy a phone through them.

You'd do better to sell it on fleabay.
I sold mine for $200.

Unfortunately I already traded it in and got my ET4G. :/
My Target has the upgrade for $99 as well (I'm near Seattle). Don't know if it's like that everywhere, but it is here. They've also been out of stock since Christmas so I went to Best Buy and although they're supposed to call and verify availability, they didn't! Also, Best Buy has better insurance than Sprint, 10 bucks a month and no deductible! Also, if you can get it at Target, they have a better trade in program. Best Buy was only going to give me $30 for a brand new Vibrant, Radio Shack was $65, but Target was $90! Still going to sell it elsewhere, but it's good info to have!
Wondering if I should upgrade, for now walmart is the cheapest @$148 , but I want to get it at less than $100 for upgrade, per phone.
Does any of you know if the price is going down? I'm just wondering with GS4 possible in February 2013, they might want to pull an iphone, and keep the price at this level until they release a new phone. Then drop $100 to $99 on contract for GS3. And give the GS 2 for a buck.
So if this is the plan, I'm willing to buy now for $150, but if they gonna drop it to $1 in couple of months, I wouldn't buy it.
EDIT: this is for at&t.

Well with the announcement of the GS4
I'm curious to see if the unlocked price of the GS3 is going to go down. Right now its about 540-550 unlocked.
